Nokia just dropped us a line alerting us to an extension to their free Color Cover program for Lumia 710 buyers now good through April 30th. Throughout the month of April, new and existing T-Mobile Lumia 710 owners can visit www.nokiacolorcover.com and choose their favorite Xpress-on color cover, and Nokia will ship it you at no cost. So what do you need to do?

Complete an Online Submission Form at www.nokiacolorcover.com (available March 1, 2012, through April 30, 2012), including full name, mailing address (no P.O. Boxes), city, state, ZIP code, phone number, email address, date of purchase and 15-digit IMEI of the device purchased. The IMEI number can be found on the UPC sticker on the device box, or under Settings/About/More Info on your Nokia Lumia 710 system menu. Upon submission, consumer must click “Print Form” to print out their completed Online Submission Form.

Once an Online Submission Form is completed, consumers must submit in one mailing envelope: (1) the completed Online Submission Form, (2) original sales receipt showing purchase price and store, dated between January 11, 2012, and April 30, 2012, and (3) original UPC and barcode panel from the eligible Nokia Lumia 710 device package to: Nokia Xpress-On Cover Offer, Dept. 533800, P.O. Box 342140, Memphis, TN 38184. Claims must be postmarked by May 14, 2012, and received by May 21, 2012.

In related news, T-Mobile is going all-in with the price on the Lumia 710 knocking it down to free after a $50 mail-in rebate. Rumor has it the price is good for new and upgrade eligible customers, though we’ve been unable to confirm the latter part. Drop a line in the comments if you see the offer available as an upgrade.

I can confirm that it’s free with upgrade after $100 mail in rebate. They are also offering $50 or more for a trade in when ordering the Lumia 710.

$50 for a Nuron? Where can I unload my old one for that price?

Deaconclgi

I wish I would have known, I have 2 Nurons in my nightstand, lol, one of them is in my disqus picture.

Bklynman

Sell them on Ebay. You can get at least $50-$100. for them on there.

exeot

the phone is junk. Resistive touch screen, no wifi and bulky… I can’t see how someone would buy it for that price but good luck.

Bklynman

You can sell your old phones on Ebay,Nuron go anywhere from $50-over $100,on there.with The Defy All I believe they go for $100 or more. HTC HD7,not sure but I believe that would go for well over $100. on Ebay. Check it yourself. Don’t take my word for it.

My wife got her Cyan one this week and loves it. Thanks for giving me the heads up on this or I would never have known.

I purchased the “free” phone when Tmobile did their any 4g phone for free sale in February. I have been checking my rebate status to see when my Gift card would be mailed out and today I see that my phone number was “unqualified” for the rebate??? What is this about?? Anyone else getting the middle finger by Tmobile right now?

Hmm, what to do with that single UPC code on the box… mail-in rebate or “free” color cover? Hmmm…

Deaconclgi

I took a picture of the UPC code and mailed the picture in and I got my cover.

Timortech

In other news that has nothing to do with this. The Htc sensation has been removed for tmobiles web site.

Craibailey

The Sensation is out of Stock. New Shipment will be coming in soon.

EXIBITman

No new shipments coming anytime soon.

Nokia is stupid. They should make an android phone.

Guest

If they were stupid they would do what you said (Android) but actually they are verey smart and Went with Windows Phone.

Snoopyalien24

Wow! Holy crap! I haven’t been on here in a long time, hello David!

Still loyal to tmo :D

Deaconclgi

This is basically what I emailed you about….and in my article on MyNokiaBlog, I stated the same dates that Nokia just confirmed. My article was on April 1st, I even linked the Terms and Conditions that explained the new date.
David, is your email still the same as the one I used when I leaked the HD2 and Nuron in the wild? Maybe you didn’t get my email about the Xpress Covers arrival and final date to submit if your email address has changed.

Kalel

Just use the “contact us” at the bottom of the page.

Deaconclgi

Thanks, I use that going forward.

C5downlow

It is true.. It’s free after rebate but if you trade in any phone you will get another 50$. So another word you are getting paid 50$ to buy lumia 710.

no2apple

Who is buying single core VGA phones in 2012 ???

Auser72

People that can’t afford or choose not to spend $200-$500 on a hind phone. Besides that the phone operates smoothere than most dualcore android phones,and is lag free.

Guest

Those who are smart enough that know a phone with single core and mubet better OD whcih has much much faster speed can beat all those dual and quad core sluggish battery hungry android phones or better say craproid phones. Yeah smart people not you!

Pak

The problem with upgrades these days are all the extra fees and prices that are not shown as part of that “$0″ they bugle at you. For example, I just added a Lumia which is supposed to be FREE with upgrade to my cart. $99 for the phone, taxes and fees of $23, then the upgrade fee of $18, and finally the $5.99 shipping fee. So the “Free” phone costs you $146.98 upfront and even after the $100 mail in rebate, that “FREE” phone still ends up taking $46.98 out of your pocket.

the dude

same thing happened to me and I was told i needed to have an unlimited minute plan for the rebate to be valid. Wasn’t told this until I was “unqualified”. That was quite a slick maneuver to for one onto an unlimited minute plan.

None

Are there any windows phones on the horizon at all. I have heard of NONE. Low end preferable but the lumia with physical keys is a deal breaker. Anyone know???

None

Need low end because I work with monkeys and they are hard on my phones.

Guest

Get Lumia 710 or HTC Radar. Both great phones and very well built quality. Smotth and fast as well. :)

The final page says that you have to “Ship your used phone to the Trade-In center within 30 days of your new phone purchase” and I unfortunately bought my wife’s Lumia the day it came out. I guess I will be going the Ebay route for the Nuron.
